9 October 17, 2017 REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT ON REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ GRASSLANDS BOULEVARD OWNERS: MOFFETT VENTURES INC. AND CITY OF KAMLOOPS APPLICANT: MOFFETT VENTURES INC. PURPOSE To rezone the subject property from RS-1 (Single Family Residential-1) and the unzoned closed road to RC-1 (Comprehensive Residential) on a site-specific basis to allow a 56-unit multiple-family development. SUMMARY The subject property is located on Grasslands Boulevard between Raven Drive and Stagecoach Drive in Batchelor Heights. The property comprises a 2.24 ha parcel of land that is zoned RS-1 and a ha area that is dedicated as road and therefore unzoned. The property is currently vacant. The applicant wishes to rezone the RS-1-zoned parcel to RC-1 to allow a 56-unit multiple-family development. If the property were to be subdivided under the current RS-1 zoning, the resulting single-family lots would be accessed by a municipal road running through the existing road dedication and ending in cul-de-sacs within the subject property. However, under the proposed RC-1 zoning, the resulting strata lots will be accessed internally via a private strata road. As it is not in the public s best interest for the City to own and maintain a public road that accesses only a single multi-family development, the ha area of road dedication should be closed and rezoned RC-1 to become a private access for the proposed strata development. The RS-1 portion of the property is designated Urban in KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan. Multiple-family development is considered an appropriate land use in Urban-designated areas. The Sustainable Kamloops Plan (SKP) supports a minimum overall density of residential development in new neighbourhoods of 25 units/ha. While approximately 15 residential units/ha (up to 33 units) could be built under the current RS-1 zoning, the RC-1 zone allows 25 units/ha (56 units). To ensure that development of the site does not impact adjacent properties to the south, staff recommend that adoption of the rezoning be conditional on a restrictive covenant requiring a 6 m setback from the southern property line (6 m is the rear yard setback of the RS-1 zone, so maintaining a 6 m setback ensures that future multiple-family units are not built any closer to adjacent properties than is currently permitted). To ensure that future development of the site maintains a high quality of design and is well integrated into the neighbourhood, the property will be subject to the Multiple Family Development Permit Area Guidelines. A subsequent Development Permit application will be submitted to Council for approval prior to issuance of any Building Permits. As a Public Hearing provides an opportunity for residents of the area to provide comment on the application, staff advise Council to authorize a Public Hearing as outlined in the recommendation.

10 REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00620 October 17, 2017 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize a Public Hearing to consider rezoning Blk. G, Sec. 25, Twp. 20, Rge. 18, W6M, K.D.Y.D. (2050 Grasslands Boulevard), and that portion of closed road identified on Plan EPP76854 (Reference Plan to Accompany City of Kamloops Bylaw No , Closing and Removing Dedication of Highway, Designated Road on Crown Grant , See KP16197), from RS-1 (Single Family Residential-1) and unzoned closed road to RC-1 (Comprehensive Residential), subject to the following: registration of a restrictive covenant stating that no residential dwelling shall be constructed on the land within 6 m of the southerly property line closure of road identified on Plan EPP76854 (Reference Plan to Accompany City of Kamloops Bylaw No , Closing and Removing Dedication of Highway, Designated Road on Crown Grant , See KP16197) COUNCIL POLICY KAMPLAN considers multiple-family residential to be an appropriate form of development within Urban-designated areas. KAMPLAN states that multiple-family development should be distributed throughout the community, be limited to a size and scale appropriate to the neighbourhood, and provide amenity space for residents. Additional criteria for evaluating Urban development proposals include compatibility with adjacent uses, access and transportation considerations (including pedestrian and bicycle linkages and transit), availability of services, and interaction with related facilities and amenities.

11 REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00620 October 17, 2017 Page 3 DISCUSSION Land Use The subject property is located on Grasslands Boulevard between Raven Drive and Stagecoach Drive in Batchelor Heights. The property is surrounded by a municipal stormwater drainage pond, a natural gully, and single-family residential development to the west; undeveloped Crown land and single- and multiple-family development to the north and northeast; undeveloped Crown land hillside to the east; and single-family residential development to the south. The property comprises a 2.24 ha parcel of land that is zoned RS-1 and a portion of the ha segment of land that is dedicated as road and is therefore unzoned. The property is currently vacant. The applicant wishes to rezone the 2.24 ha parcel to RC-1, which, at a maximum permitted density of 25 units/ha, would allow up to 56 multiple-family units. It is anticipated that under the current RS-1 zoning, the parcel could be developed at approximately 15 units/ha, which means the property could be subdivided into approximately single-family lots, depending on how the site is designed. This lot yield assumes that the property is subdivided into lots that use the minimum lot size of 464 m 2 in the RS-1 zone and that approximately 30% of the property is dedicated as road. In this scenario, the new lots would be accessed by a municipal road that runs through the existing ha of road dedication and ends in City-owned cul-de-sacs within the subject property. However, under the proposed RC-1 zoning, the resulting strata lots will be accessed internally via a private strata road. As it would not be in the public s best interest for the City to own and maintain a public road that accesses only a single, private strata development, the ha area of road dedication should be closed and rezoned RC-1 to become a private access to the proposed strata development. The RS-1 portion of the property is designated Urban in KAMPLAN. Multiple-family development is considered an appropriate land use in Urban-designated areas. The SKP supports a minimum overall density of residential development in new neighbourhoods of 25 units/ha. This density is consistent with the proposed RC-1 zoning, which also allows multiple-family development at 25 units/ha. In terms of transit access, the property is located less than 400 m from the closest bus stop and the Transit Future Plan identifies a future transit connection through to Westsyde Road using Grasslands Boulevard. The property is also located less than 150 m from Saddleback Park. Also, the proposed RC-1 zoning is consistent with that of other properties in the area (e.g. Stagecoach Drive, Grasslands Boulevard, and Quail Drive). These location factors all support the proposed rezoning as per the criteria for multiple-family development outlined in KAMPLAN. Legal Encumbrances To minimize traffic impacts on the local street network, a covenant will also be required to limit density of the development to a maximum of 56 units as a condition of sale of the closed road. That covenant will also stipulate that the purchaser is responsible for covering all costs associated with installing a new curb and gutter and sidewalk over the width of the road closure area to be consistent with what is already in place along Grasslands Boulevard. Sale of the closed road will also be conditional upon registration of an SRW for municipal stormwater infrastructure crossing the closed access road area.

12 REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ00620 October 17, 2017 Page 4 Neighbourhood Impact To ensure that development of the site does not impact adjacent properties to the south, it is recommended that adoption of the rezoning be conditional on a restrictive covenant requiring a 6 m setback from the southern property line. The purpose of this setback is to ensure that once the property is rezoned, no residential units are built any closer to adjacent properties to the south than is currently permitted under the RS-1 zone, which has a minimum rear yard setback of 6 m, as compared with the minimum rear yard setback of 4.5 m in the RC-1 zone. To encourage future development of the site to maintain a high quality of design that is well integrated into the neighbourhood, development of the property will be subject to the Multiple Family Development Permit Area Guidelines. A subsequent Development Permit application will require Council approval prior to development of the site. SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS The SKP measures success in sustainable land use through the following: increasing density of development (as measured by population density) by 25% by 2050 managing overall growth of the Urban area to achieve a rate of growth that is 50% of the rate of population growth allowing a minimum overall density of residential developments in new neighbourhoods of 25 units/ha M.

15 October 16, 2017 REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT ON REZONING APPLICATION NO. REZ GREENFIELD AVENUE OWNER/APPLICANT: TRENT BLACKWELL PURPOSE To rezone 1777 Greenfield Avenue from RS-1S (Single Family Residential - Suite) to RT-1 (Two Family Residential-1) to allow for a two-family residential use. SUMMARY The subject property is located at the corner of Greenfield Avenue and Newton Court in the Brocklehurst neighbourhood. The property is currently zoned RS-1S and is designated as Urban in KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan. In 2014, the subject property was rezoned from RT-1 to RS-1S to permit a garden suite, which was not permitted under the RT-1 zone. At the time, the owner s intention was to rebuild the principal dwelling, remove the detached garage, and build a 69.5 m 2 garden suite separate from the principal dwelling. No work was undertaken, and the property was sold. The current owner would like to rezone the property back to RT-1 with the intention of removing all existing buildings and constructing a duplex. A duplex, or two-family dwelling, is not a permitted use in the RS-1S zone. The majority of the surrounding neighbourhood is zoned RT-1, including all adjacent properties. Service capacity is sufficient to provide for two-family residential under the RT-1 zone. Staff support the application as the subject property meets all RT-1 zone requirements for two-family residential and is able to accommodate a duplex. The proposed zoning meets the goals and policies of KAMPLAN, the North Shore Neighbourhood Plan, and the Sustainable Kamloops Plan (SKP). RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize a Public Hearing to consider rezoning Lot 7, Sec. 9, Twp. 108, K.D.Y.D., Plan 8817, Except Plan (1777 Greenfield Avenue), from RS-1S (Single Family Residential - Suite) to RT-1 (Two Family Residential-1).

Intensification of lots using similar building forms in existing neighbourhoods will assist in achieving targets in the SKP, such as increasing density of development by 25% by the year 2050 and managing overall growth of the urban area to achieve a rate of growth that is 50% of the rate of population growth.

19 October 16, 2017 REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT ON DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PERMIT APPLICATION NO. DVP , 1920, AND 2000 QU APPELLE BOULEVARD AND 1360 MYRA PLACE OWNER: JUNIPER WEST DEVELOPMENTS LTD. APPLICANT: TRUE CONSULTING PURPOSE To reduce the minimum front yard setback in the RS-1S (Single Family Residential - Suite) zone from 6 m to 3.5 m within a 20-lot subdivision at the end of Qu Appelle Boulevard. SUMMARY The subject property is located in the Juniper West neighbourhood and is zoned RS-1S. The applicant has applied for a Development Variance Permit to reduce the minimum front yard setback in the RS-1S zone from 6 m to 3.5 m (Attachment A ). The intent of the setback variance is to maximize the size of rear yards within the subdivision. The standard 6 m setback requirement in the City s residential zones is intended to create a uniform building line and accommodate vehicle parking in front yards. In the RS-1S zone, houses with suites are required to provide unobstructed (i.e. side-by-side) vehicle parking for three vehicles. In areas with on-street parking restrictions such as this one (there is no on-street parking on this side of Qu Appelle Boulevard due to the location of a dedicated bicycle lane), additional off-street parking is encouraged to accommodate visitors to houses with suites. Such off-street parking can be accommodated, even with the proposed setback variance, as the boulevard in this section of Qu Appelle Boulevard is particularly deep. It is approximately 6.8 m from the front property line to the back of the sidewalk adjacent to Qu Appelle Boulevard, compared to a 3 m boulevard depth typical of a subdivision on a local road. Because of the depth of the boulevard, the total distance between the house and the sidewalk would be 10.3 m, which is deep enough to accommodate two small cars in a stacked configuration without encroaching onto the sidewalk (see Attachment A ). As the proposed setback reduction accommodates larger rear yards, should not compromise the provision of surplus parking on each lot, and maintains a consistent building line since it will be applied across the entire subdivision, staff support the application and advise Council to proceed as outlined in the recommendation.

25 October 18, 2017 REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT ON DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PERMIT APPLICATION NO. DVP CORNWALL STREET OWNER/APPLICANT: PATRICK FOIDART PURPOSE To reduce the minimum lot width and minimum lot street frontage for two-family residential in the RT-1 (Two Family Residential-1) zone from 18 m to 17 m to facilitate the subdivision of a two-family residential lot. SUMMARY The subject property is 2,125 m 2 and is located at 1362 Cornwall Street in the North Kamloops neighbourhood. Surrounding properties consist of single- and two-family residential, as permitted in the RT-1 zone. Existing two-family residential buildings (duplexes) are located nearby on Cornwall Street and Kent Avenue. The parent parcel contains an existing single-family residential dwelling sited on the southern half of the property, which would permit the creation of an additional dwelling. A variance to reduce the permitted lot width and street frontage from 18 m to 17 m is required to facilitate a subdivision for a duplex lot and maintain the existing residential dwelling. Reducing lot width and lot frontage requirements will avoid the need for an awkward lot line configuration (i.e. a flared frontage to achieve 18 m) and provide sufficient design flexibility to permit a duplex lot. The proposed duplex lot area would be approximately 900 m 2 significantly greater than the 557 m 2 minimum lot area requirement. Final lot dimensions will be determined through the subdivision process. Without a variance, the applicant would be permitted to subdivide the property for the purpose of a single-family residence with a secondary suite. Greater value would be created with a duplex lot. The subject property is located within the 200-year flood plain of the North Thompson River. The applicant will be required to register a flood plain covenant on title as part of the subdivision process. The Development and Engineering Services Department supports the application as the proposed development complies with the land use policies outlined in KAMPLAN: City of Kamloops Official Community Plan and the North Shore Neighbourhood Plan.

30 October 18, 2017 REPORT TO THE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND ENGINEERING SERVICES DEPARTMENT ON DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. DPM ST. PAUL STREET OWNER: BC LTD. APPLICANT: TRI-CITY CONTRACTING LTD. PURPOSE To issue a Development Permit to control the form and character of a six-storey, mixed-use apartment building, consisting of 1,173 m 2 of commercial space on the ground floor and 136 residential units, in accordance with the City Centre and Multiple Family Development Permit Area Guidelines. SUMMARY The subject property is located on the north side of St. Paul Street between two existing office buildings. The property is 2,192 m 2 in area and is zoned CBD (Central Business District). The property currently contains a commercial building that includes a movie rental store and office space. The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing building and build a new six-storey building with two storeys of underground parking, 1,173 m 2 of ground-level commercial space, and 136 residential units, which is permitted in the CBD zone. As the property is located within the City Centre and Multiple Family Development Permit Areas, the project requires a Development Permit prior to issuance of a Building Permit. The application meets the intent of the City Centre and Multiple Family Development Permit Area Guidelines with respect to site design/parking layout, building design, and landscaping. In terms of site design, the building will be oriented towards the street, with pedestrian access to commercial and residential units directly off of St. Paul Street. Underground parking is provided via a two-storey parkade, also accessed off of St. Paul Street. The application meets the zoning requirements for the number of required parking stalls (one stall/dwelling unit in the CBD zone); however, a variance is required to increase the maximum number of small car stalls in a structured parking facility from 50% to 57%. This variance is supported as the depth of the parcel does not facilitate efficient construction of standard-sized stalls (Attachment A ). In accordance with the Development Permit Area Guidelines, the application includes a brick façade and awnings over storefronts and the residential entrance to the development to provide pedestrian-scaled street appeal. The upper storeys building face has been set back approximately 1.6 m from the street to be less visually intrusive. Upper storeys feature a mix of colours and materials to add visual interest (Attachment B ). Landscaping and amenity space for the development include street trees, a common landscaped courtyard on the second floor, a common rooftop patio on the sixth floor, and private balconies attached to individual units (Attachment C ). As it meets the intent of the City Centre Development Permit Area Guidelines and the Multiple Family Development Permit Area Guidelines in terms of site design/parking, building design, and landscaping, staff support the application and advise Council to proceed as outlined in the recommendation.

31 DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. DPM00609 October 18, 2017 Page 2 RECOMMENDATION: That Council authorize the Corporate Officer to issue Development Permit No. DPM00609 for Lot A, Plan EPP34983, D.L. 232, K.D.Y.D. (444 St. Paul Street), in accordance with site plan/parking layout shown as Attachment A, building elevations shown as Attachment B, and landscape plan shown as Attachment C. Note: Approval of this Development Permit will vary Zoning Bylaw No , Division Fifty-Two, Off-Street Parking, Section 5210, Small Car Parking, to increase the maximum number of small car parking spaces from 50% to 57%. Note: Issuance of this Development Permit will be conditional on the following: registration of a restrictive covenant/easement requiring that the property may be used to provide access to underground parking for the adjacent property to the east (Lot 17, Plan 193, Blk. 38, D.L. 232, K.D.Y.D. [432 St. Paul Street]) in the event the property is redeveloped submission of landscape security in the value of $47, COUNCIL POLICY The property falls within the City s Multiple Family Development Permit Area and the City Centre Development Permit Area, it is subject to the relevant Development Permit Area Guidelines, which provide criteria to ensure that new development is attractive, well-designed, and effectively integrated into the community. SITE CONDITIONS AND BACKGROUND Neighbourhood - Downtown Kamloops KAMPLAN Designation - City Centre Current Zoning/Use - CBD (Central Business District)/commercial building Proposed Variance - Increase maximum number of small car stalls from 50% to 57% Surrounding Uses - Commercial development to the north, east, and west; residential development on commercially zoned property to the south Application Date - June 14, 2017 Restrictive Covenant - Parking covenant/easement required as a condition of Development Permit approval Project Evaluation Team (PET) - June 30, 2017 Parcel Size - 2,192 m 2 S:\DCS\Jobs (c3)\285941_dpm00609\285943_dpm00609.docx Page 31 of 56

32 DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. DPM00609 October 18, 2017 Page 3 DISCUSSION Site Context The subject property is located on the north side of St. Paul Street between a single-storey office building to the east and a two-storey office building to the west. The property is located directly across the street from one- and two-storey commercial and residential buildings and indirectly across the street from 429 St. Paul Street, a six-storey, mixed-use building associated with the Kamloops United Church. The property is located within walking distance of a full range of commercial amenities, transit options (including the Lansdowne Transit Exchange), and recreational facilities (Kamloops Community YMCA-YWCA) typical of downtown Kamloops. The property is 2,192 m 2 in area, is designated City Centre in KAMPLAN, and is zoned CBD. Zoning Regulations: Lot Coverage, Density, and Parking The CBD zoning regulations permit the mix of uses proposed for the property, including office and retail space and multiple-family dwelling units. The application complies with the maximum 95% lot coverage at ground level requirement, as well as with density requirements. The maximum density permitted in the CBD zone is regulated by floor area ratio (FAR), which is the ratio between the total floor area and the total site area. In this case, the maximum FAR permitted is 5.0, which is based on the FAR of 4.0, which is permitted in the CBD zone, plus an additional 1.0 FAR allowed through the provision of residential accommodation above the ground floor exceeding 25% of the gross floor area. The FAR of the proposed development is 4.8. The property falls within the Zoning Bylaw s Downtown Off-Street Parking Specified Area; therefore, it is exempt from providing parking on site for the commercial uses. The multiple-family residential parking requirement within this area is one stall per unit, which results in a requirement of 136 stalls for the 136 units provided. In total, 148 parking stalls are proposed. Zoning regulations require that a maximum of 50% of required parking may be provided in the form of small car stalls where provided in a structured parking facility. In this case, 78 of the required 136 stalls (57% of the required total) are proposed to be for small cars. Staff support this variance through the Development Permit process since the shallow depth of the parcel does not facilitate economic construction of underground parking using full-sized car dimensions. Additionally, it is assumed that residents of a high-density apartment building may be more likely to drive more modestly sized vehicles. Bicycle parking is required at the rate of 0.2 stalls per dwelling unit (27 stalls). The proposed development will provide 40 spaces in the underground parkade. Development Permit The proposed development falls within the City Centre Development Permit Area and the Multiple Family Development Permit Area. The application meets the intent of the Development Permit Area Guidelines in terms of site design/parking layout, building design, and landscaping.

33 DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. DPM00609 October 18, 2017 Page 4 Site Design and Parking The site is designed to provide direct pedestrian access to commercial and residential units within the building from the street. Consistent with the Multiple Family Development Permit Area Guidelines, required parking is provided entirely underground. While the City Centre Development Permit Area Guidelines encourage vehicle parkades to be accessible from rear lanes, the application features vehicle access from St. Paul Street. Given the large scale of the project; St. Paul Street s character as a street that includes some private vehicular access; and the fact that the subject property is wide enough to accommodate substantial on-street parking, staff support the proposed access point. To preclude the possibility that the adjacent lot to the west, which is much narrower, will also request access off of St. Paul Street, staff recommend that registration of the Development Permit be conditional upon registration of a covenant/easement allowing the property to the west to use a portion of the development for access to future underground parking. Building Design The City Centre Development Permit Area Guidelines state that when new buildings will be taller than their neighbours, they should be set back from the street front with a podium the same height as adjacent buildings. In this case, the proposed development is located next to a single-storey office building to the east and two-storey buildings to the west. The proposed development features a single-storey podium flush with the front property line, with the primary building face of the upper floors (floors two through six) set back 1.6 m and the building face behind residential balconies set back 3.3 m. The Multiple Family Development Permit Area Guidelines for residential high-rise development encourage such development to enhance the on-street environment with pedestrian character evident at street level. The building design enhances the street character through a pedestrian-scaled podium feature that provides retail space that is accessible from St. Paul Street and features extensive glazing, brick details, planter boxes on second storey balconies, and canopies over building entrances. A one-storey-high brick archway provides a focal point for the building and draws attention to the primary residential entrance. The City Centre Development Permit Area Guidelines state that form and character of new buildings should be compatible with existing adjacent development. The development features a mix of colours and materials, including black brick veneer; grey-coloured HardiePanel siding; slate-coloured stucco siding; and non-combustible, fir-coloured horizontal siding with stamped wood finish to add visual interest and complement the materials used on other developments on this block of St. Paul Street. Landscape Design Landscape design for the development features street trees to establish a pleasant pedestrian environment. In accordance with the Multiple Family Development Permit Area Guidelines, the development features on-site open space in the form of a 75 m 2 landscaped courtyard on the second floor at the base of an internal light well and a 72 m 2 common landscaped patio area on the roof of the building. With these two areas combined, 6.7% of the property is landscaped, compared to the minimum landscape requirement of 5% of lot area within the CBD zone. Balconies adjacent to individual units provide additional private amenity space for residents. S:\DCS\Jobs (c3)\285941_dpm00609\285943_dpm00609.docx Page 33 of 56

34 DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATION NO. DPM00609 October 18, 2017 Page 5 SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS The Sustainable Kamloops Plan seeks to increase density in the city by 25% by 2050 and manage overall growth of the urban area to achieve a rate of urban growth that is 50% of the rate of population growth. This application meets these objectives by providing an opportunity for increased density (68 units/ha are proposed) on existing serviced land. M. Kwiatkowski, P.Eng.
